I go by about 5 days in the fridge, but I've heard a range anywhere from 4-7 days. I usually use it up by day 2-3 anyway and freeze any extra. Also, I have always re-refrigerated unused portions of her bottle and reheated without problems. If she doesn't eat it at the next feeding though, it gets tossed. The "guidelines" say never to re-refrigerate or reheat, but I think most people do what they feel comfortable with.

Lol I was told the rule of 6s haha! 6 hours fresh, 6 days in fridge, 6 months in freezer and up to 12 months in deep freeze. I always save warmed milk for the next feed even if she ate out of it. That stuff is valuable and she's never had a problem from it.

You do not need to throw away milk lo has eaten out of. (half eaten formula does need to be discarded) put it back jn fridge and reheat for the next feeding. I switch out the nip for the next feeding. The only thing reheating does is diminish a few nutrients but it's def not worth tossing!! I alway refer to kellymom.com for milk guidelines.

I leave it out 4-5 days on the fridge and once you have used a bottle you have to throw it out. But if I pump fresh I use it up to 5 hours. So make sure you don't wa up to big of a bottle so you don't waste it.

We do 7 days fridge. We also always reuse the bottle 1 time if it wasn't finished. I've read a lot about it and everything I've read says it's ok w breastmilk, just not w formula. I did the same w my first baby, never had any issues.
